Bucky’s Basement Podcast

On this week's episode of Casting Cage, the guys review John Woo's 2002 WWII epic, Windtalkers. Nic Cage plays a shell-shocked soldier tasked with guiding a Navajo code talker safely through the U.S. invasion of Saipan. Is one stab with a bayonet lethal? Is Peter Stormare's character secretly a foreign agent (that accent...)? And whatever the hell happened to Christian Slater?!!!! He's so cool!

On this week's Fast Pitch episode, the guys draw the title 'The Stairway Caller.' Does a title like that lend itself more to Paranormal Horror or Rom/Com? Listen to find out which direction Juicebox, Bucky, Oldboy, and ChatSmith take their movie pitches.

Bucky's Basement presents a unique episode of Casting Cage this week, where we review a film directed by Nicolas Cage: 2002's "Sonny" (Cage does cast himself an interesting minor role, one Acid Yellow, which we delve into). This film stars James Franco as the titular Sonny, a male prostitute in 1980's (?) New Orleans, pimped out by his mother, Jewel (played by Brenda Blethyn). There is a lot to unpack here. 

On this week's Casting Cage Episode of Bucky’s Basement, the guy's review the 2000 Christmas Classic (?): The Family Man. Listen in to learn why they love Tea Leoni (is it her raspy voice or is it that shower scene?), is this movie just another It's A Wonderful Life  knockoff or is it a full blown acid trip? And is Don Cheadle the secret villian in this film? (Kinda seems like he pulls a few dick moves). Find answers to these burni...
